Arkansas Mother Buried Without Twins as Children’s Remains Released to Estranged Father

Officials continue to investigate the December triple homicide without naming a suspect.

Overview

  • Deputies found Charity Beallis, 40, and her 6-year-old twins fatally shot in their Bonanza, Arkansas home on December 3 after a welfare check.
  • The Sebastian County Sheriff’s Office released the mother’s remains to her adult son, who buried her on December 29, while the twins’ bodies were released to their father, Dr. Randall Beallis.
  • Family members say they have not been told whether the children were buried or cremated or where their remains are located.
  • Court records show Randall Beallis pleaded guilty in October to third-degree battery in a prior domestic case and was under a no-contact order during the divorce and custody proceedings.
  • No arrests have been announced; investigators recovered a bag of family belongings from a dumpster three days after the killings, and Beallis’s attorney asserts his innocence and cooperation.
